Show HN: Descartes.js – Write CSS entirely in JavaScript and bypass the cascade

I'll walk into an even bigger fire.

I encode all my css, html, and code in JS. I put the entire thing for each module in one page, but my modules are small and granular. I truly believe that separation of concerns does not apply.
